The Hilton Cleveland Downtown Hotel (HCDH) is a skyscraper on the corner of Ontario Street and Lakeside Avenue along The Mall in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, United States. It opened in 2016, has 600 rooms and is 32 stories high.[1] It is one of four Hilton properties in downtown Cleveland, the other three being Hilton Garden Inn, the DoubleTree Hotel Cleveland, and Hampton Inn.
The building was constructed under a partnership between the city of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County to attract larger conventions to the city of Cleveland. The agreement was entered into under the first chief executive of Cuyahoga County, Ed FitzGerald's administration and the Cleveland mayor Frank G. Jackson.[2]
The hotel is the tallest and largest in the city. Previously, the largest hotel in the city was the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel which has 500 rooms.[3] This is the first major hotel constructed in the city since the building of the Marriott at Key Center in 1991 at a height of 320 feet with 385 rooms.[4] The new Hilton is managed by Teri Agosta.[5]
Following the completion of the new Global Center for Health Innovation and spurred by a tax over run that was raised by the county to construct that facility, the first chief executive of Cuyahoga County, Ed FitzGerald proposed the county mount a hotel project to meet demand for conventions that would otherwise overlook Cleveland which had no hotel to accommodate over 500 guests at a time since the 1990s when the Stouffer Hotels & Resorts company renovated its 1000-room Hotel Cleveland at Public Square (connected to the Terminal Tower) down to 500 rooms.[6] The Hilton Hotel project was considered instrumental in landing the 2016 Republican National Convention.[7]
